Description

Is this the team come game 1? I like what I've heard about Mercer, but I only want him to make the team if he's ready to be a 3C. If they want him on the wing, I'd say let him develop in the AHL for a year. What do you guys think?

No way Holtz makes the team out of camp and as much as mango sub par season you dont pay a 4th liner 3+ mill

I really hope Ruff's comments about Zacha at Center were just a head fake. Ok, if Nico or Hughes get injured, sure, he's an option .... but please for all that's holy, put him back at where he finally started to see some consistent success.

So if we have Zacha at wing, who do you want to see play 3C? I have this

Hughes or Hischier 1C
Hughes or Hischier 2C
Boqvist 3C?
Mcleod 4C

I think it is looking like:

1C/2C Jack and Nico
3C Mercer
4C McLeod

Mercer is playing his way into 3C role.
But I agree that I would rather see him start at 1C in AHL than 3RW or 4RW in NHL.

The counter-argument to this is that he has the ability to play the style of hockey that Wood/McLeod play.
At least more so than Boqvist or Studenic.
